Weekend a little unfortunate from the perspective of “climate”, and even the landscape turned slightly yellowed, seemed already September, probably for “African” temperatures of this last summer. Between passing clouds, humidity and even though we stopped for 3 nights, we obtained 2 only a couple of shots with DSLR, the room cooled CMOS we couldn’t…

🙂 we missed this place in the Alps, including Maciste (the camper that resists) were 11 months since I moved after my fracture in these meadows of last summer was still parked, accumulating dust! But a providential tire change, and an initial cleaning first, allowed us to get back up there, for now just for…

forgive us:), between work and deserved vacation time available to write on the blog has failed on the other hand we could have a bit of experience with the new CMOS camera, and we have produced at least 4 notable shots so far, even with the purchase of planishing APM/reducer Riccardi, which in addition to…

the Supernova 2017dfc behind M63-resumption without us knowing the night of 21/04/2016:) the nova is highlighted with red lines in the first image cropped These darts in Luminance were performed with direct fire ASI1600MM ZWO-C Celestron 11 mirror lock mod. with gearbox Starizona 0.75 x on Skywatcher EQ6 about 2 hours and 30 total integration…

One of the most common problems I’ve had in years in astrophotography, probably because I never spent lots of money for a “motorized Focuser with attributes”, was the change of focus during the shooting session, perhaps due to sudden changes in temperature but also the weight of the camera, it could also be partly due…

With my ankle injury, we had to help but shoot pictures for a few months, but it wasn’t all bad, I got to understand that you better watch where I walk every now and then and not always with his head in the clouds, because fractures are really annoying, but I’ve learned my lesson, and…

Taking advantage of my upgrade to Sierra (Osx 10.12) and appreciating the fluidity of how he turns the system I have been wondering what program in astronomy and astrophotography have a Mac user and I found an interesting news that I was lost, being for much of my time on windows, namely: That’s all for…

In this Post, which follows the images posted on Flickr and 500px, I wanted to show the potential of processing in Drizzle, albeit with modest equipment, DSLR, having blessed with two great Chinese import lenses and having taken the same patch of sky with a camera like that, we start from the small but powerful…

For once, no self-promotion, but proud to have received the attention of many professional and amateur photographers whose esteem and admire the exploits. This is because mainly domestically, we had far less acclaim, both in astrophotography and nature photography, and to show that even with modest means, humility and without abusing of intrusive advertising you…

Experienced in spite of the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Carson, who was contacted by a major American network running into billions, CBS, to offer only “credit”, that is, the signature of the author, in Exchange for his image, will the crisis is to say, it is sad and disheartening, but the bad habit is this…

There’s plenty of choice in terms of software for processing of deep sky pictures, few free unfortunately, many paid and with disparate and in this post I will try to elencarveli. As far as we are concerned, as you can see from our pictures, and like many others we do not just use one software…

Gaia, cornerstone mission of ESA, will survey all-sky, photometric and spectroscopic astrometrica up to magnitude V = 20, observing a billion sources, on a five-year expected storm. The launch took place at the end of 2013. The mission is funded by ESA, except for the data processing of which shall bear the European astronomical community…

We want to deal with the use of this valuable tool which lets you combine multiple shots clubs made with Earth’s motion tracking but also with only a tripod for still image. For this reason, we refer to our guide on the equipment for wide field Astrophotography with DSLR cameras that we’ve posted on this…

Take the first steps in astrophotography may seem difficult and challenging for those who looks for the first time in this discipline but there is a technique of night photography achievable without the need for any special equipment: this is the classic photo of the aftermath of the stars, and you get the 8 mm…

In this tutorial I will provide what I think is one of the most important concepts to successfully run your own HDR photography in True Tones, using the function Details Enhancer Tone Mapping, standards, building on the common mistakes on key triggers the software under development. To continue reading this guide we ask a contribution…
